AOES involved in another FP7 project |
AOES has involved in other FP7 project. It is called HPH.com and it will start on Dec. 1. Below its overview.
The objectives of the research project are design, optimisation and development a space plasma thruster based on helicon-radio-frequency technology and its application to a nano-satellite for attitude and position control. In addition, a detailed feasibility study will be conducted to evaluate the possibility of using the plasma thruster to heat and decompose a secondary propellant. This study will asses the possibility of building up a combined-two-mode-thruster able to operate in the low-thrust high-efficiency plasma-mode and high-thrust low-efficiency secondary-propellant-plasma-enhanced mode.
